This has always been the place of seclusion for the mages of the territory.

As the Lord, Zong Shen seldom visits.

When there are no missions, the mages can freely come here for meditation.

Of course, due to the limited Meditation Rooms, whether one can secure a spot depends on their ability.

Thus, it was quite normal for Aisha to be somewhat puzzled when Zong Shen suddenly awakened her.

"The third phase of the Frosty Winter Challenge has officially begun."

"Aisha, I need you."

Zong Shen softly said, in such a tranquil environment, one can't help but remain quiet.

For Aisha, Zong Shen's simple phrase, "I need you," outweighed all reasons.

As a subject with max loyalty, Aisha was willing to give her life for him.

She grabbed the Dawn's Wisdom Staff placed beside her legs and stood up immediately.

"Awaiting your command at any time."

"My strength, my thoughts, my body, are all at the ready."

Aisha slightly nodded, holding the staff in her hands and placing it in front of her chest.

"Very well, this operation is just you and me."

"Your task is simple, just assist me."

"Additionally, use the Holy Light Arrow to help provide output."

Zong Shen wore a gentle smile and lightly pulled her arm.

The two walked out of the Meditation Room together, guiding her to go outside.

Aisha naturally had no objections, obediently following along.

After Zong Shen released his hand, she kept half a step behind, closely following.

Pulling aside the sheepskin curtain of the Magic Hall, the cold from outside caused her body to shiver slightly.

However, she quickly returned to normal; she was wearing a Double-sided Sheepskin Cold-Resistant Suit.

The hem of her gray and white woolen garment revealed the edge of a Priest Robe embroidered with gold silk.

This attire made Aisha look somewhat peculiar,

after all, a cold-resistant suit isn't exactly aesthetic, nor is it standard cold-weather gear.

In the Northern Territory's kingdom and various major powers, they all have their own standard cold-resistant apparel.

The design is incredibly beautiful, with different family badges embroidered on them.

Even though the Double-sided Sheepskin Cold-Resistant Suit looks somewhat plain, it couldn't hide Aisha's sacred and graceful bearing.

Zong Shen very gentlemanly escorted her hand, letting her sit in the cockpit, before he climbed up adeptly.

Closing the glass cover, Zong Shen took several bottles of Magic Spring from his Personal Storage Grid to hand to Aisha as a backup, while briefly explaining the operation of the Drilling Machine and the main mission for the day to her.

If necessary, Aisha would take over the driving.

Currently, they had no understanding of the locations of the Frosty Winter Treasure Chests and the icefield monsters guarding them nearby.

The remaining Frosty Snow Beasts would continue roaming the land.

After Zong Shen briefly explained the driving methods and the functions of various control systems,

he once again activated the Magic Energy Drilling Machine and began asking strategy tips about the locations of the Frosty Winter Treasure Chests near the territory.

These locations were likewise marked conspicuously with one Golden Circle after another.

They could clearly show the position and distance. When Zong Shen's line of sight shifted, marks in other directions would gradually appear.

Seated in the cockpit, he looked around, noting that the closest treasure chest point was on the east side of the territory.

Getting there requires a distance of 2.73 kilometers, taking approximately 5 to 6 minutes at the third power gear of the Drilling Machine, and the location is within the range of the territory's Defense Matrix.

However, it looked like those Defense Arrow Towers hadn't been activated yet.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing; the exact situation required visiting the site to ascertain.

After confirming the target, Zong Shen pushed down the power lever, activated the drills, holding the master control stick in his hands, adjusted the direction, and headed eastward toward the territory.

At this time, the clouds up in the sky had mostly dissipated, and the pale golden sunlight bathed the earth, spreading light and warmth.

The snow on the ground began to absorb the heat, a cold mist rising, just like dry ice, as actually, it's during the melting snow when it's coldest.

The surface snow revealed a series of eroded holes, signaling a potential collapse.

Five to six minutes later, Zong Shen arrived on the eastern side of the territory.

This location wasn't far from the living area; one could even see some warriors standing in the snow, casting curious glances towards here.

Doris and Hoy were organizing manpower, starting a new round of snow clearing, giving people something to do.

Upon hearing the noise from the Drilling Machine's movement, they also turned their attention here.

Zong Shen parked the Drilling Machine, in front of him was a not-too-small piece of azure blue ice stone.

About five meters in height and covering an area of seventy to eighty square meters.

This ice stone was like a small ice mountain.

It appeared extremely abruptly, seemingly neither Doris nor Hoy had previously noticed.

The sunlight shone down, reflecting off the transparent ice body, refracting rainbow-like rays.

The Frosty Winter Treasure Chest Zong Shen was seeking was frozen within this ice mountain.

And it was right at its core.

The most absurd part was that this small ice mountain was hollow.

Besides the frozen treasure chest, it had a ring-shaped area outside that was not frozen. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Currently, a total of seven icefield monsters were wandering within.

Occasionally, they emitted hostile growls towards Zong Shen outside the ice layer.

These icefield monsters were imposing white Snow Leopards, their size not inferior to the Sentinel Black Panther ridden by Luna, clearly belonging to ferocious icefield beasts.
